If a tire gets a puncture
If a tire gets a puncture
Precautions in the event of a
puncture
If a tire is punctured, you can make a
first emergency repair using the special
Fix&Go kit located in the trunk.
Tire punctures of up to 7/32 inch
(6 mm) can be repaired; the kit can be
used in all weather conditions.
Do not remove the foreign object from
the punchured tire, e.g., screw or nail.
Remove the special Fix&Go kit from
the vehicle, take it out from the bag
and place it near the punchured tire.
Screw the flexible vacuum filling hose
A onto the pneumatic valve B. Remove
the cap C from the power socket
positioned in the luggage
compartment or remove the cigarette
lighter D from one of two power
sockets housed in the ashtray, then fit
the coupling E.
Start the vehicle engine (see
page 150).
Press the Fix&Go power switch F to the
“I” position. The electric compressor
will be turned on, sealant and air will
inflate the tire.
Minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) of pressure
should be reached within 20 minutes.
If the pressure has not been reached
turn off and remove the Fix&Go, drive
the vehicle 30 feet (10 meters) back
and forth, to better distribute the
sealant inside the tire.
Attach the clear flexible filling tube of
the compessor directly to the tire valve
and repeat the inflation process.
WARNING: If the minimum pressure
can not be reached, do not drive the
vehicle; contact the nearest
Authorized Maserati Dealer.
When the correct pressure has been
reached, start driving the vehicle to
uniformly distribute the sealant inside
the tire.
After 10 minutes, stop and check the
tire pressure. If the pressure is below
19 psi (1.3 bar), do not drive the
vehicle, as the tire is too damaged,
contact the nearest Authorized
Maserati Dealer.
If the pressure is at 19 psi (1.3 bar) or
above repeat the inflation process to
reach the correct tire pressure and
continue driving.
